💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐌🌧️ #MaxPlanck researchers collected brown-lipped #snails on rainy days, fed them cucumbers and lichen, then coaxed out five different kinds of #mucus.
Each #slime uses the same #proteins with varying concentrations, plus different amounts of #calcium and other ions. The result is a lubricant for gliding, two defensive options, a winter seal, and an adhesive that sticks to #wood, #glass, and #aluminum.

💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐧🤖 Engineers at #MIT and #EPFL built a flapping-wing #robot that swims #underwater and flies into the air.
Inspired by diving #birds like #puffins, the small #vehicle folds its #wings to handle water density. This #technology could help scientists collect environmental samples from both air and #water.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦔🤖 Researchers at #NorthCarolina State University built a flexible structure that curls into rigid #armor when it senses impact.
Inspired by the three-banded #armadillo, the design uses heat-responsive materials and interlocking segments to increase stiffness 600-fold. The system could protect soft #robots, flexible #electronics, and wearable devices in hazardous environments.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦎🧠 Scientists at the University of #Würzburg designed a #Mars #rover wheel that mimics the sandfish #lizard, a #desert #reptile that swims through loose #sand. The team tested their bio inspired #wheels on sand and open terrain showing steady movement and identifying areas for improvement.
